Geek-storm meltdown
The Perfessor
Just came across this on Digg. Apparently this kid just had his mom cancel his online World of Warcraft account, and didn’t like it very much, so he had a little-girl, 5-year-old hissy-fit mother of all meltdowns, which his younger brother caught on a webcam, and then posted.,
Hysterical.

Matt Lauer was doing his best Geraldo impression. Too bad Matt Lauer didn’t get his own joke.
This celebration of death is downright insulting. It was incredibly stupid when Anna Nicole Smith died, and they’ve managed to ramp up the stupidity to “11″ this past week.

I think that I have a devious mind. I say this because I don’t seem to think the same way that other people around me think. You know the quote
‘Some folks see things as they are and say ‘Why?’ Others see then as they could be and say “why not?’” Well, I tend to see things and say “What if?”Right after 9/11 (when the details of what actually happened began filtering out), I opined that the attack seemed a tad too elaborate for the people who pulled it off. Plus there were simply too many holes in how it happened to make sense (and, yes, I’m one of those aging Kennedy Conspiracy Theorist), to me, it sounded like the plot of a John le Carré novel.
I felt that it all seemed a little too pat to me. I felt that some über-patriot who felt that the U.S. was a touch too soft on foreign terrorists just might plan an attack on U.S. soil — “sacrifice” civilians and then use the terror assault to leverage a ramped-up military program that would (put money in their pockets) and/or achieve their agenda. In the aftermath of that tragedy I was told to keep silent in this regard as no one would ever actually do that, and how could i even think like that.
I was willing to think that it was just me. then I heard this guy:

I try to avoid the whacko Republican fringe, but when the whack Republican fringe has a guest that has even more whacko ideas, it’s a bit like some sort of strange bizarro world that only Kafka and Stalin could truly appreciate.

More MJ news from Beyond...
The Perfessor
You know that Hollywoodland loves giving itself awards, so I guess it comes as no surprise that there are a bunch of awards revolving around the death of the the former King of Pop. What is surprising is that they are being handed out by Jon Stewart on the Daily Show,and well, they’re not real, even though they should be…

WTF?
The Perfessor
No, I mean really, WTF? I just came across this and, well, don’t quite know how to react…
According to Michael Jackson’s largest online fan club, MJ fanatics have been recently committing suicide because of the pop star’s tragic death.
The Sun is reporting that up to 12 die-hard Jackson followers have taken their own lives since his passing on Thursday.
Gary Taylor, who runs MJJcommunity.com, recently said, “I know there has been an increase, I now believe the figure is 12. I believe there may have been one Briton who has taken their life. It is a serious situation that these people are going through but Michael Jackson would never want this. He would want them to live.”
The rest of this oddness can be read here.

I’m just curious, if a man accused of killing a cop is referred to as an “African American,” why is the dead cop referred to as White? Shouldn’t the cop be referred to as “American,” or “White American,” or whatever European country his ancestors came from 100 years ago? Or perhaps if we are going to refer to “White” folks as “White” then (in the same sentence at least) can’t we call the other guy “Black”?
More to the point, isn’t it about time to stop segregating the country by our language?
The guy who was accused of the shooting is an American, the cop was an American, I’m an American; anyone who is a citizen of this country is an American.
Deep thoughts for the morning but well, that’s just how we roll over here at Cuppacafe.

Tweets from the Dead
The Perfessor
So, unless you’ve been living in a cave (without access to the Internet), you would have missed that Keith Carradine, Ed Mcmahon, Farah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, Billy Mays, Fred Travalena, and now Jeff Goldblum have all died.
Wait, you didn’t hear about Goldbloom? You say that you can still see him on Law & Order: Criminal Intent on the USA Network on Sunday nights. Well, apparently then you missed the Tweet about his death, the report on Channel Nine from New Zealand TV:
Still, perhaps you watched this bit on the Colbert Report:

College Humor has a funny new musical video up celebrating the most popular social websites of the net, done by a couple of over stuffed singers and, uh, a few musical theater majors.

My Buddy Rusty Haller
The Perfessor
So I have this professional friend…or rather this friend who is a fellow professional. He is a cartoonist, and well, has been having a bit of personal and professional bad luck. In this tough economy he is having some difficulty getting a stead stream of assignments and, is getting evicted. He has to move out of his place at the end of the month (which as you all know is two days from now).
I’ve been doing what I can to get Rusty hooked up with more work, or representation of some sort (even commissioned and purchased art from him recently). I’ve also been trying to get other friends of ours to help in in whatever way they could. Sever folks have risen to the challenge (including the folks at Bryanna Bunny, who have set up a donation fund for Rusty, and the guys over at Free Lunch Comics who are holding a charity auction to help raise money for Rusty).
Rust was doing a bunch of great work in the ‘80s and ‘90s for Marvel, Dc, Archie, and other companies. He is also the creator of Ace & Queenie, a very cool action/adventure anthropomorphic espionage series, that began live over at Radio Comix and lives now on the Web.
In the mean time, take a look at a very cool comic that Rusty recently drew (I’m trying to see if I can find a magazine that will purchase it — so if you know of any editor that want’s to get his or her hands on a very talented cartoonist, let me know).

There’s a whole series of this type of videos on YouTube. Some of the ones I’ve seen before are posted from college roomates. But I have to admit that this particular spastic catharsis is rather fun.
